The Congress Chintan Shivir at Udaipur resulted in the Gandhis consolidating their hold over the grand old party. The dissenters, aka G-23, failed to articulate their concerns or pose any kind of leadership challenge to Rahul, Sonia and Priyanka Gandhi.
Be it the leadership vacuum, sweeping reforms, clarity over emotive issues or modernisation of the party, the deliberations and decisions at Congress’s Chintan Shivir were half-hearted and full of caveats.
Even as the Congress is getting ready to induct poll strategist Prashant Kishor, party chief Sonia Gandhi is trying to get her house in order in several poll-bound states.
हालिया विधानसभा चुनावों में कांग्रेस की हार के बाद जी-23 समूह की बढ़ी हुई सक्रियता के बीच समूह सदस्य कपिल सिब्बल ने पिछले दिनों एक साक्षात्कार में कहा था कि गांधी परिवार को कांग्रेस का नेतृत्व छोड़ देना चाहिए और किसी अन्य नेता को मौका देना चाहिए।
